Also, I apparently forgot to mention this, so here goes: Sumihiro did NOT evolve after the Rood battle, he actually evolved against a random gym trainer (shortly before the Clay fight) after I fought Rood. I moved the evolution because random gym trainers are uninteresting. As for the near-death experience: it was actually not a proper close call, but Sumihiro had to sub in against the Herdier (I think I had Felix out at that point, but I changed things around to make it all more interesting) and took something like 30-35%, with the Eviolite attached, from the Herdier's Take Down. Since he was also slower than it, and Razor Shell was a 2HKO, he had to take two hits before the pup went down, meaning that a single critical hit would have had him end up dead in that battle. Scary shit, no kidding!

But enough of that. It's been a while since we last kicked gym butt. So. Time to kick MORE GYM BUTT.
